The authers reviewed the clinical aspects of 5 patients of primary lung cancer with sarcomatous components (sarcomatous carcinoma) treated from 1988 to 1993. The median age was 60.2 years, 2 patients were male and 3 were female. Concerning the epithelial pattern, there were squamous cell carcinoma in 2 cases, and adenocarcinoma, adenosquamous cell carcinoma and large cell carcinoma in 1 case respectively. All cases underwent lobectomy, and 3 cases had postoperative radiation therapy. Two patients lived long periods without disease. Radiation therapy was judged effective for local control of the disease. Sarcomatous carcinoma seemed to be a clinically distinctive disease in primary lung cancer.
